Got a text from my friend this morning that he was disgusted sitting next to two Mac users in the computer lab.

I told him to get "vaccinated" by using Windows and Android more often :p

(I'm studying paediatrics this week, hence I thought of using the term "vaccinated")

WMG Awhhhhhh :devil :lol:

Lets just say WMG is permanently banned, along with various other names he used, One reason ( in simple terms) it didn't matter what any ones question, comment, or answer was WMG's would ALWAYS turn up with a MAC / Apple, and he would argue till white in the face (since most MAC's are white-ish) :D

Talk about Apple spamming (if there's such a thing), he took it to the extreme. Its a good job this site is only a Forum, and not a physical place - I'll let you figure out why ;)

http://pressf1.co.nz/showthread.php?t=103080 Metla summed it up nicely in that post. #6

I'm sure the mods have cold chills when his name is mentioned (no I dont mean Chilling_Silence either) :p

If only people would learn not to feed the trolls no matter what side they back they might give up. So many fed winmacguy it is no wonder he couldn't stop. Some of the feeders were almost as bad as him.
I remember a Don Mitchell ( or a very similar name) who was an MS troll on ZDNet about ten years ago and still going I think. He was just as bad if not worse than winmacguy.
Every forum seems to have one or two.

It was that thread that sealed his fate.
What really cracks me up about that one is he started that post and yet all those who despised him went to it and had there equally pathetic rant.
As I said before. Please don't feed the trolls.:mad:

Fair point.

Something similar happened with the word games (oh god, the horror), I think pcuserwinvista managed to find an addon that hid undesirable threads.

Within 3 hours of posting that Google search had it listed. That is quick.

Oh yes. I've seen stuff on google 15 mins after posting.

They're the biggest for a reason.

Although most forum software has special bot profiles, wouldn't surprise me if google took advantage of the new posts section.

WMG's final stand; http://forums.pcworld.co.nz/showthread.php?t=85368

It was that thread that sealed his fate.

I knew a guy like you WMG in school. He loved to make people mad by goading them. He'd never be violent himself, but he could talk other people into a rage. I nearly knocked his block off once and had to be restrained. He laughed hard, because he'd got what he wanted. And if you challenged him on his behaviour he could rattle of a long list if things he "hadn't" done, so that on paper he looked as clean as the driven snow. It amused him to cause other people to loose their cool. I guess he felt it granted him some kind of superiority. But there's nothing superior about deliberately setting out to inflame others. It's a cheap thrill and a hollow victory.

Woah I never knew I went to school with Bruce.

Also, I'm pretty sure WMG is still around, just a touch more subtle.

And then they all got deleted so I decided not to bother any more (it added an ugly button anyway).
